- Philippines: Crossroads-strategic-geographic
- Background: For more than 300 years, Mindanao has never been at peace. A paragon of negative perception, a historical stigma, an island region enveloped by fear, mistrust and suspicion In 1970’s, inter-tribal disputes/misunderstandings over land issues generated hostilities and violence that eventually transformed Mindanao into a war zone. Threats, torture and violence, brutalities, displacements and expulsions divided Mindanawnons. Divisive tensions lead to attitude of suspicions, mistrust, fear, hatred and anger which prevailed even until now.
- In addition: CAUSES Personalistic political leadership Incoherent development planning Inconsistent policies Lack of permanent and strategic mechanism Insufficient budget Development disparity Economic inequity
- Recent changes in the global market place have opened windows of opportunities for Mindanao’s economy. General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) provided the rules for much of world trade and presided over periods that saw some of the highest growth rates in international commerce. GATT’s success in reducing tariffs to such a low level, combined with a series of economic recessions in the 1970s and early 1980s, drove governments to devise other forms of protection for sectors facing increased foreign competition. The globalization of the world economy was underway, trade in services — not covered by GATT rules — was of major interest to more and more countries, and international investment had expanded. The endorsement of the GATT by some 120 countries including the Philippines has lead to the creation of the WTO. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only international organization dealing with the global rules of trade between nations. Its main function is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible. The agreements were negotiated and signed by governments. But their purpose is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business. The agreements were negotiated and signed by governments. But their purpose is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business. The ASEAN countries are also committed to accelerate tariff reduction through the CEPT. These new trade pacts have the overall effect of enlarging the potential markets for Mindanao’s goods and services, The participation of the island in the BIMP-EAGA will not only enhance its market outlets but will widen its possibilities for engaging in joint economic activities with its neighbors. Also, important developments in the peace front are about to take place such as nearing the signing of the 1996 Final Peace Agreement.
- Mindanao is strategically located in Asia and President Arroyo in one of her speeches has called Mindanao the country’s gateway to the ASEAN and to the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-The Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA). The four member-countries saw it as a key strategy to accelerate development in the subregion by increasing trade, investments and tourism within the area by facilitating freer movement of people, goods and services; rationalizing the development of vital infrastructure; promoting joint business opportunities; and coordinating the management of ecosystems and common resources to ensure sustainable development.
- Mindanao has strategic importance to ASEAN in terms of trade access and trade flows…particularly crude oil.
- Mindanao sea and marine areas are major entry and exit point for sea-based trade in Southeast Asia.
- Mindanao is part of the Coral Triangle. The Coral Triangle is a geographical term referring to the tropical marine waters of Indonesia , Malaysia , Papua New Guinea , Philippines , Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste that contain at least 500 species of reef-building corals in each ecoregion . The Coral Triangle is considered to be the global epicenter of marine biodiversity, and a global priority for conservation. BIMP-EAGA’s Sulu-Sulawesi Seas is the heart of the Coral Triangle which in turn is the heart of the world’s marine biodiversity. BIMP-EAGA, therefore, is the heart of the world’s terrestrial and marine biodiversity and BIMP-EAGA is taking serious steps to protect, conserve, and sustainably manage these natural resources. Two major environment management projects are currently being implemented by BIMP-EAGA. The more recent project is the Heart of Borneo Initiative which aims to establish a network of protected forest areas in Borneo Island. Meanwhile, the agreed action plans for the Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion project is well underway.
- Mindanao contributes a fairly big share of the country’s pie for agricultural output; 1/3 of our land area is devoted to agriculture; Agri sector is our biggest employer;51% of Mindanao’s labor force is engaged in agricultural activities; We contribute more than 1/3 of the country’s requirements for agricultural & fishery products.
- The slide shows the existing industries in Mindanao, by region. A number of our banana plantations are mostly found in region XI i.e. Lapanday, Stanfilco, etc. Large pineapple plantations are found in Bukidnon and Polomolok (Del Monte; Dole Phils.; Marsman Drysdale) Heavy manufacturing industries are mostly found in Region X (NSC, Iligan Cement,Petronas) and Region XI (PJACC, DUCC) Tuna Capital – General Santos City in Region XII; we have more than 7 canneries in GSC Other large industries present in Mindanao – Nestle Phils; RFM Corp., Universal Robina Corp.,Asia Brewery, Cargill Phils; Coca-Cola; San Miguel, Hoechst, Vitarich
- Here we see, Mindanao’s potentials: Mindanao’s strategic location in Asia Pacific makes it a potential hub for transport, business, and telecommunications, among others. Mindanao in BIMP-EAGA was dubbed as Asia’s playground in the 21st century due to our exquisite tourism assets, rich water resources and conducive climatic condition. Mindanao’s rich soil and typhoon-free climate allows us to produce bountiful agricultural and fishery products.
- Mindanao registered a 4.0 percent GRDP Growth in 2008, a little bit higher than the national average of 3.8%. Philippine economy grows by 3.8 percent The Philippine economy managed to grow by 3.8 percent in 2008 amidst the early inroads made by the global financial meltdown, the onslaught of several typhoons that hit the country during the year and the peace and order problems in Mindanao. The 3.8 percent growth was a deceleration from the 7.1 percent achieved during the high growth period of 2007. Major contributors to growth were manufacturing, agriculture and fishery, TCS, and private services. All of the major sectors decelerated in 2008 relative to 2007. Agriculture, fishery and forestry (AFF) slowed down from 4.8 percent in 2007 to 3.2 percent in 2008. Industry posted a deceleration from 6.8 percent in 2007 to 5.0 percent in 2008 while the service sector significantly slowed down from 8.1 percent to 3.3 percent. Economic Performance by Major Island Among the island groups, Luzon contributes the largest share to the country’s GDP Slower growth of Western and Central Visayas weaken Visayas’ economy The economic growth of the Mindanao island group decelerated from a 7.0 percent growth rate in 2007 to a 4.0 percent growth in 2008 as the economy of all its six regions slowed down. Northern Mindanao posted the highest growth rate at 5.3 percent while ARMM registered the lowest at 1.9 percent in 2008.
- The slide showed the Gross Regional Domestic Product and their growth rates of the various regions in Mindanao. Economic Performance of the Regions: Zamboanga Peninsula’s economy registered a decelerated growth of 2.2 percent in 2008 from 7.2 percent in 2007. This was largely due to the substantial slowdown of AFF Northern Mindanao’s economy posted the fastest growth rate among the country’s 17 regions at 5.3 percent in 2008, albeit a slowdown from its 7.7 percent growth in 2007. The listless performance of the industry and service sectors, which outweighed the robust performance of the AFF sector, brought about the slowdown in the region’s economic performance. Davao Region’s economy decelerates from a 6.6 percent growth in 2007 to 3.7 percent in 2008. The slowdown was brought about by slower growth in industry and service sectors. The economy of SOCCSKSARGEN Region grew at a slower pace by registering a 4.6 percent growth in 2008 from a robust performance of 6.7 percent in 2007. The deceleration was contributed by the slowdown in all three major sectors. Caraga’s economy decelerated by 4.5 pecentage points from 7.7 percent growth in 2007 to a 3.2 percent growth in 2008 due to the slowdown in the industryand service sectors and a contraction in the agriculture, fishery and forestry sector. ARMM’s economic performance decelerated to 1.9 percent in 2008 from a 5.4 percent growth in 2007 brought mainly by the slump in agriculture and fishery.
- In the past decade, there was an observed increase in the share of Mindanao’s industry and services sectors.
- Mindanao’s export earnings reached US$2.6 billion in 2007, the highest in the last 14 years. Mindanao is likewise a consistent net exporter from 1994 to 2007. Factors affecting exports include the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, the drought and floods brought about by the El Nino and La Nino phenomenon in 1997-1998 since Mindanao’s exports are agricultural products. Top exporters were Region XI and X with Region X outranking Region XI in 2006.
- Mindanao’s total export earnings as of September 2009 decrease by 33.12% with a value of US$1.63 billion from US$2.43 billion during the same period in 2008. Likewise, Mindanao’s total imports registered a decrease of 28.77% from US$1.39 billion to US$993.17 million as of September 2009. As of September 2009, Mindanao’s total trade posted a decrease of 31.53% which registered at US$2.62 billion (FOB value) as compared to US$3.82 billion in the same period last year. The decreases in export performance can be attributed to the effects of the global financial crisis. As reported by UNCTAD, world trade began to slow down in 2007 and has been shrinking at a fast rate since November 2008 in both volume and value as a result of the economic recession that began in the United States. Trade volume growth decelerated first in the United States and other developed countries1. Moreover, the export cargo was adversely affected by the global downturn, losing as much as 6.90 MMT or 20.66% during the year while import cargo slipped by about 2.05 MMT or 4.14%. The lower demand for prime export commodities such as mineral ores, nickel ores, lime, cold rolled coils and coco oil, etc. was evident in the sharp decline of foreign cargo throughput at the following gateway ports of Mindanao: Cagayan de Oro - 4.03 MMT; Surigao - 4.14 MMT; and Nasipit - 0.61 MMT1. _______________________ 1 Presented by Mr. Raul T. Santos, Asst. to the GM for Corporate Affairs and Special Projects during the Mindanao Shippers’ Conference held in Cagayan de Oro City, November 26, 2009.
